    Default Warning permissions configuration file

    Hi zc user, I have ZenCart shop and I have to change configuration file to changed something and always happens when I access the site, warning that in this file can be write.

    '' Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home23/kavanali/public_html/zencart/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file (read-only, CHMOD 644 or 444 are typical). You may need to use your webhost control panel/file-manager to change the permissions effectively. Contact your webhost for assistance.''

    On server is configuration.php 644 and still it show warning! I change in 444 byt it stay on 644!
    Can somebody explain to me why it's happening and how I can do to resolve that.

    Default Re: Warning permissions configuration file

    On many servers, if you need to change it to 444 you will need to go into your Control Panel such as cPanel and change it in the File Manger ...

    NOTE: when updating a file with permissions of 444, you must change it to something like 644 to allow you to overwrite it then change it back to 444 when done ...

    And it may help if you set permissions to the right file. You are talking about the configuration.php, but it should be configure.php

    '' Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home23/kavanali/public_html/zencart/includes/configure.php.
